1988 Dodge Daytona Reviews, Pricing & Specs




























What owners say
"Overall, drivers really enjoy the performance and value of the 1988 Dodge Daytona. Many loved its speed and power, especially the turbocharged versions that can compete with muscle cars of the era. However, several owners noted reliability issues, with breakdowns being a common complaint. Despite this, the car's affordability and fun driving experience make it appealing to many."
Shelby Z version Loved this car. With modded ECU I could keep up with Mustang 5.0s of the time. Performance - front wheel drive, 2.2L I-4 Intercooled Turbo. Averaged 30+ MPG on one trip with an average speed over 100 MPH. Fun stuff.
April 8, 2009Originally: Non-intercooled 8-valve turbo, 3-speed automatic Current engine: 2.4L DOHC Turbo The engine is originally from a 1998 Stratus. Upgraded with SRT-4 pistons, rings, rods, bottom end bearings, oil pump/pan/pickup, water pump, turbocharger, hot side charge pipe, cams, and injectors. Stock '98 Stratus parts include powdercoated original valve cover, head, valves, crankshaft, and block. The intake manifold and fuel rail are both heavily modified pieces from a 1999 Neon R/T. There are only a handful of aftermarket parts which include a Forge Motorspot blow-off valve (anodized blue), Aeromotive 1:1 AFPR, custom polished aluminum intercooler pipes (other than the hot side pipe), and a custom computer from FWD Performance. Transmission was swapped to a A555 close-ratio 5-speed from a 1989 Daytona Shelby.
